I think your best approach now is:
1. make sure QT is not running in the systray. If it is -- right-click & exit.
2. Delete the folder C:/Program Files/Quicktime. (since I don't use either QT or iTunes, you will have to use your own knowledge here -- they may be in the same folder or in separate folders, I don't know. Just delete any folders in C:\Program Files named Apple, Quicktime or iTunes.
Now open the registry editor (regedit.exe.). Use Edit->Find' to find all keys named Apple and delete as each one that is found until you see "Finished searching the Registry". Close the Registry Editor.
Now you just need to remove that non-working entry from 'Add/Remove Programs'. Download the free trial of 'Add-Remove4Good' from:
http://www.4develope...emove/index.htm
Install it. Highlight the QT entry then click "Uninstall'. The entry will be removed when the uninstaller fails.
Reboot.
Try installing the new version.

Thank you for the help, but before I do all of that, is there a way to back up my computer and/or registry so that if something goes wrong I can get back to where I am right now. I just am really worried that by deleting the Apple stuff, something bad will happen with iTunes causing it to not be able to work. I am able to function without quicktime but if iTunes gets screwed up, it will take for ever to transfer my music to another programs and my ipod will be screwed up.
